Lost and Found by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a novel written about the Amish in Pennsylvania, Lancaster County. Trudy Yoder has been enamored by Micah Weaver since she was a very young girl. Micah is a seasoned birder, which means that he spends his time looking for unique and endangered bird species. Trudy usually goes along and has some good birding skills of her own.
Their Old Order Amish community has been divided by the arrival of a community of Beachy Amish. This Amish sect is very modern in that they drive, use electricity, cell phones, and other things that the Old Order disapproves of. The problem is that young people are seeing these conveniences and want to be able to use these devices.
It has come to the bishop’s attention that they may need to move their entire community to a new region away from the Beachy sect. To that end then send a group, including Micah to Tennessee to look over new territory. There is another reason that Micah wants to go to Tennessee. He had been infatuated by Trudy’s older sister Shelley, who left the group to be a singer in Nashville. All of a sudden, Micah is receiving calls from Shelley that she is in danger and needs his help. He locates her in Tennessee and vows to help her.
There are so many plots in this story that you will just have to read it for yourself to find out what is real and true. Although this novel was interesting, I felt that parts of it just did not ring true to me. I think I felt let down after reading it.
I received a free print copy from Revell Publishers, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
